Bus is late but the sun is out
Someone’s laughing way too loud
Corner shop knows my face
Same old song same old place

Shoelace broke still on time
Found a coin lost my mind
Nothing special nothing deep
But today’s been good to me

Radio plays that beat again
Head goes left feet say “amen”
I wasn’t looking for a sign
But the street feels right in time

Life’s doing fine yeah look around
Sticky tables familiar sounds
Not a movie not a plan
Just a good day where I stand

Life’s doing fine no big parade
Just walking slow no rush today
If this is all I’m cool with that
Yeah I like it just like that

Coffee spills laugh it off
Wrong turn but I don’t stop
Shoes too tight shirt’s too thin
Still smiling when I walk in

Someone hums the tune I know
Traffic moves then says hello
Nothing changed still feels new
Guess the trick is how you view

No winning streak no finish line
Just wasting time and feeling fine
If this moment’s all I get
I’m not mad at it yet

Life’s doing fine yeah look around
Bent street signs old beat-up towns
Not a headline not a scam
Just a good day where I stand

Life’s doing fine no big parade
Late night talks cheap lemonade
If this is all I’m cool with that
Yeah I like it just like that

Maybe tomorrow’s loud and rough
But today’s already enough
No promises no advice
Just breathing in a decent life

Life’s doing fine hear that horn
Someone dancing someone bored
Not a dream not a trap
Just a moment and I’ll clap

Life’s doing fine I’ll say it twice
Not perfect but it’s nice
If this is all I’m cool with that
Yeah I love it just like that

Just like that
Yeah just like that

Yeah… uh
Na na na na… na na na
Mmm let’s go

Step in the light all eyes on me
Walk through the crowd like destiny
Shadows move slow I move free
Every heartbeat’s my melody

Spin it turn it keep the pace
Golden fire on my face
Every step’s a little thrill
This is mine it always will

Na na na na… I’m on that golden run
Na na na na… my moment’s just begun
Na na na na… can’t stop what I’ve become
Na na na na… I’m on that golden run

Shine in my eyes glow in my mind
Nothing to lose only time
Every glance feels like a sign
World in my hands I align

Spin it turn it keep the pace
Golden fire on my face
Every step’s a little thrill
This is mine it always will

Na na na na… I’m on that golden run
Na na na na… my moment’s just begun
Na na na na… can’t stop what I’ve become
Na na na na… I’m on that golden run

Hold it feel it — I’m alive
Take it higher touch the sky
Move with me side by side
We’re forever in this vibe

Na na na na… I’m on that golden run
Na na na na… my moment’s just begun
Na na na na… can’t stop what I’ve become
Na na na na… I’m on that golden run

Midnight moves across the floor
Steps align we need no more
Every motion syncs in time
Signals crossing clean and fine

No directions no control
Just a pattern taking hold

Hold it right don’t push too fast
Let the second stretch and last

Keep me on a steady frequency
Where the sound stays close to me
Nothing sharp nothing loud
Just the rhythm clean and proud

Stay aligned let it be
No escape no urgency
Every tone exactly right
On this steady frequency tonight

Low pulse breathing
Filtered chords drifting
Time dissolving
Nothing spoken

Faces blur in moving light
Seconds fold into the night
No reflections no disguise
Just the motion multiplying

We don’t question where it leads
Only trust the space we keep

Hold the line stay inside
Let the moment open wide

Keep me on a steady frequency
Where the sound stays close to me
Nothing sharp nothing loud
Just the rhythm clean and proud

Stay aligned let it be
No escape no urgency
Every tone exactly right
On this steady frequency tonight

No beginning no release
Only waves in slow repeat

The room stays still when I move
Air feels counted slow and exact
My phone facedown on the table
Like it knows I won’t look back

Hours fold into each other
No sharp edges no release
I don’t miss someone specific
I just miss how silence feels

Loneliness isn’t loud
It doesn’t need a scene
It waits until everything stops
And asks me what I mean
Loneliness stays close
Not heavy not kind
Just the shape of being here
With too much time

Walls keep doing what they do
Holding space without a sign
Every thought arrives unfinished
Leaves before it makes a line

I hear life somewhere ongoing
Not mine but near enough
I don’t reach for explanations
I’m already full of them

Loneliness isn’t loud
It never begs or pleads
It sits beside the moment
And lets it be what it is
Loneliness knows my pace
Never pulls never leads
Just walks the length of the night
At the speed I need

If this hour had a voice
It wouldn’t try to stay
It would tell me nothing’s broken
Then quietly move away

Loneliness isn’t loud
It doesn’t ask for proof
It’s not the end of something
It’s just the pause I move through
Loneliness fades on its own
When the timing is right
I don’t solve it tonight
I just let it pass the time

Morning is doing its job
Somewhere I don’t need to see
This night doesn’t owe me answers
It just keeps me company

Você fala devagar
Como quem quer ir embora
Mas deixa a porta entreaberta
E o perfume na demora

Se fosse pra ser já era
Mas ainda tem coisa no olhar

Fica no quase no meio
Nem céu nem chão inteiro
Fica no toque que não vem
Na saudade que não tem nome também

O silêncio entre a gente
É mais forte que um não
Você sorri com os lábios
Mas seus olhos dizem não

E eu finjo que entendo
Mas espero você ficar

Fica no quase no canto
Sem promessa sem pranto
Fica no gesto que não se dá
No abraço que não quer se fechar

Se um dia for tudo ou nada
Talvez eu escolha o nada
Mas até lá…

Fica no quase no meio
No tempo que é só receio
Fica no quase comigo
Mesmo que seja só perigo

Streets stay still without a name
Steps align but not the same
Nothing loud nothing planned
Just the timing of your hand

Every move feels almost true
Something shifts when I face you

Stay in place let it run
No finish line no count of one
No signs drawn no straight lines
Just the space between our time

Ahh
Let it turn let it stay
No words left that need a say

Corners bend the hours slide
We don’t need a reason why
Moments land then rearrange
Never still never strange

No control still it fits
Every step makes sense like this

Stay in place let it run
No finish line no count of one
No signs drawn no straight lines
Just the space between our time

If it ends it ends this way
Not a loss not a stay
What we felt remains intact
No return and no retract

You had me sold with a whisper
Pulled me close
Said
"You're my best friend"
Now I'm standin' on the shoulder
Of the highway while you're leavin' again

Well
Baby
Don't worry about me
I got my boots and my keys
I got everything I need
And when my thumb gets me home
I'm gonna go out on my own
Gonna find my rainbow's end
And I'll be on the road again

You packed me up in the morning
After you picked me up in the night
And I know you didn't mean it
When you said you were my last ride

Well
Baby
Don't worry about me
I got my boots and my keys
I got everything I need
And when my thumb gets me home
I'm gonna go out on my own
Gonna find my rainbow's end
And I'll be on the road again

Well
When I get to heaven
I'm gonna know
'Cause it's gonna look like New Mexico

And
Baby
Don't worry about me
I got my boots and my keys
I got everything I need
And when my thumb gets me home
I'm gonna go out on my own
Gonna find my rainbow's end
And I'll be on the road again

Yeah
I'll be on the road again
Oh
Baby
I'll be on the road again

Yeah yeah
Mm listen now
We don’t slow down tonight

Sun drop low on the city line
Heart beat sync with the bass this time
No map no rules no rewind
We move as one no border signs

I came up from the rhythm street
Barefoot dreams and a hungry beat
Every scar got a story loud
Every move say I’m here right now

When the drums talk I obey
Feel it rise under my skin
No fear when the lights go red
This is where we begin

Moto moto fire on the floor
Songa mbele give me more
Twende pamoja don’t let go
Tonight we burn tonight we glow

Moto moto hear them say
Maisha ni sasa now not someday
Body talk when the words say no
Tonight we burn tonight we glow

Eh eh eh
Move it closer
Eh eh eh
Right here

Gold chain swing with the tempo fast
Every step make the moment last
DJ spin that truth so loud
From Lagos nights to the London crowd

No sleep when the vibe too strong
Whole world sing when the hook come on
If you feel lost follow sound
This beat gonna hold you down

When the drums talk I obey
Feel it rise under my skin
No fear when the lights go red
This is where we begin

Moto moto fire on the floor
Songa mbele give me more
Twende pamoja don’t let go
Tonight we burn tonight we glow

Moto moto hear them say
Maisha ni sasa now not someday
Body talk when the words say no
Tonight we burn tonight we glow

Hands up no delay
From the block to the cabana
Left foot right foot sway
We don’t need no permission

Heat jump crowd reply
Every face got a reason
One night one time
Let the rhythm make the decision

Moto moto fire on the floor
Songa mbele give me more
Twende pamoja don’t let go
Tonight we burn tonight we glow

Moto moto hear them say
Maisha ni sasa now not someday
Body talk when the words say no
Tonight we burn tonight we glow

Yeah
We don’t slow down
Mm
Africa to the world

I’m calling from a room with peeling paint
A radio coughing out the truth
The kettle screams like it knows my name
Coins on the table none of them are you

The line is bad the night is worse
Somewhere a ferry cuts the dark in two
I got your number on a matchbook
And a voice that still remembers you

The operator’s half asleep
She says “Sir you still there?”
I say “Yeah I’m breathing smoke and prayers
Trying to get through anywhere”

This is a long distance line from the Bosphorus
I got one minute maybe less
If the city don’t swallow my words whole
You’ll hear me say I did my best

Yeah it’s a long distance line from the Bosphorus
The signal shakes the past comes through
If this call drops into the water
Just know I was calling you

There’s a man downstairs selling broken watches
Says time owes him money too
Every streetlight flickers like a bad idea
Every bar knows something I won’t tell you

I saw your face in a cracked mirror
Right next to a stain on the wall
I tried to hang up three times already
But this phone just won’t let me fall

This is a long distance line from the Bosphorus
The clock’s got a loaded gun
If I disappear between the numbers
Just say I was almost done

Hello?
Yeah… it’s me
Listen don’t say my name
The walls here got ears
And the night’s taking notes

It’s a long distance line from the Bosphorus
Static dancing in my head
If you hear silence after this
That’s just the things I never said

The operator counts me down
Five… four… the river wins
Click

I kept your echo in a borrowed chord
Faded at the edges like a prayer ignored
You never spoke in “forever” terms—
Only in glances only in turns

We drew lines in passing trains
Paused in motion looped refrains
What we had was quiet gold—
But time like steam refused to hold

So I won't chase the version of us
That never really stayed never fully was
You were a still life mid-collapse
A moving part in silent gaps
And I loved you there—
Where the light never dared
But lingered
Like it knew
We’d vanish fair

You hummed in keys I couldn’t trace
Left fingerprints on open space
A breath a shift a tilted frame
No villain here just untitled blame

Maps don’t cover scenes like this
Where lips forget what touch meant bliss
But if you ask what we became—
A shadow signed with no one’s name

I won't rewrite the note you played
Or tune the silence we conveyed
You were a still life breaking fast
A fleeting truth I couldn’t grasp
And I loved you there—
Not to repair—
But to remember
Without despair

Maybe we were best
in between intentions
Not a love song—
just the tension

Still life
in motion
Still life
Not frozen

Morning hits the window late
Coffee’s cold but I feel awake
Your name’s still on my playlist
Didn’t mute it didn’t break it

I learned how silence sounds
When you’re not around
But it’s lighter than I thought
Guess I figured something out

I don’t need a sign tonight
No big speech no rewrite
Just walking straight ahead
With the things you never said

I don’t need a brand new heart
Mine still works just different parts
Some are louder some are calm
Still beating still holding on

I don’t need a clean restart
Just a little open space to start
I’m okay where I am
Yeah I’m better than I planned

City moves at normal speed
People laughing next to me
Nothing feels dramatic now
And that’s what I like about it somehow

Your jacket’s gone I kept the time
Not the fights not the lines
I don’t miss the way we broke
Just the jokes we never wrote

No more circling the same streets
No reruns in my head this week
I’m not running I’m not late
Just finally on my way

I don’t need a brand new heart
Mine still works just different parts
Some are louder some are calm
Still beating still holding on

I don’t need a clean restart
Just a little open space to start
I’m okay where I am
Yeah I’m better than I planned

If you ever wonder how I’ve been
I sleep fine I breathe fine
I learned how to let things end
Without losing who’s inside

I don’t need a brand new heart
No repair kit no fresh start
It’s been tested it’s been tried
Still alive on the inside

I don’t need to change the past
Just move forward slow and fast
I’m okay where I stand
Yeah I’m better than I planned

Better than I planned
Still here still me
Yeah I’m better than I planned

(verse 1)
You sit beside me
but your eyes
walk down a hallway
I can’t find

You ask me questions
with no wait
as if the answers
might hesitate

(verse 2)
You touch my hand
like it’s just air
like something’s there
but not quite where

I say your name
just to hear
if it still sounds
like you’re near

(chorus)
You move through me
like wind through cloth
like water shaped
by what it’s not
You don’t resist
but you don’t hold
You’re warm
but I’m cold

(verse 3)
The kitchen light
flickers twice
We laugh but
not with our eyes

The song that used to
make you sway
now plays like
furniture on replay

(chorus — repeat)
You move through me
without a sound
I feel you there
but not around
You’re close
but not slow
You’re mine
but I don’t know

(outro — quiet)
Love didn’t leave
but it learned
to disappear

Lights off room breathes heavy thoughts get loud
Mirror talks back but it never tells me how
I built walls just to feel safe inside
Funny how the safest place is where the truth goes to hide

Heart ticking like a bomb with a pause
I’m calm on the surface chaos under the laws
I ask myself questions I don’t wanna hear
If I’m honest with me will I disappear?

I grew up learning silence was strength
Learned to smile wide hide the cracks in the length
Every promise felt borrowed every win felt fake
If I fail on purpose at least it’s my mistake

I carry names they don’t know how to spell
Carry blame like a badge wear it well
I don’t trust my thoughts when they sound too kind
Cause comfort’s just a trap with a pleasant design

Truth feels sharp lies feel warm
I confuse being numb with being calm
Every memory fights to be the boss
Was it discipline building me or fear at a cost?

If I peel back layers what’s left of me?
A man or a mask with good memory?
I hear my past knock I don’t answer calls
But it’s yelling my name through the drywall walls

Tell me what’s real tell me what’s wrong
I been holding my breath way too long
Every lie feels right till the truth comes through
I don’t know who I am but I know it’s not you

Inside my head there’s a war I chose
Between what I show and what nobody knows
When the dark speaks up I answer too

Shout: Truth!
Shout: Fear!
Shout: Me!

I move quick now thoughts double-time
Mind runs laps like it’s training for crime
I edit my feelings like tracks in a mix
Cut the pain low but it still exists

They say heal yourself yeah easy to say
When the damage taught you how to get paid
I monetize pressure I profit from doubt
Turn panic to patterns then scream it out loud

I don’t chase peace I interrogate calm
Ask why it leaves when I’m holding the psalm
I know every trick that my ego plays
Calls survival a crown calls running a phase

I don’t want comfort I want it clear
If I’m broken say it don’t sugar my fear
I been friends with the worst part of me
Now I’m asking if it’s time to leave

If I stop fighting who am I then?
If I stop hurting do I lose my pen?
I don’t trust silence it feels like a test
Like peace is a lie I don’t deserve yet

Tell me what’s real tell me what stays
When the lights go out and the crowd fades
Every voice in my head wants a say
But only one of them tells it straight

I built my name from scars and doubt
From locked doors I had to break out
When the dark speaks up I answer too

Shout: Truth!
Shout: Pain!
Shout: Now!

If I face myself and don’t look away
Maybe fear won’t have the final say
I don’t need saving I need to see
What’s left when the noise stops haunting me

Shout (whispered): Me

I was barefoot in the silence
dreaming of laces I could never tie
They told me “Leave your shoes behind”
but my feet were burning on holy ground

Back then the glass windows whispered
shops were cathedrals I couldn’t enter
Every sneaker a forbidden scripture
every boot a sermon I couldn’t keep
I walked with shadows on the pavement
carrying blisters instead of crowns

Now every aisle feels like confession
plastic bags my rosaries
boxes stacked like psalms unspoken
I kneel but I never pray

I can’t walk barefoot anymore
the echoes of my hunger follow me
God once said “Take off your shoes”
but He never felt these cracks in me
So I buy another pair I’ll never wear
just to silence the ghost of that child staring
at the glass at the glass at the glass

Leather tongues speak louder than my own
rubber soles drown out my guilt
Every purchase is a broken hymn
every closet a confessional built
I don’t wear them I collect my scars
like trophies of battles I never fought

The past still laces up my ankles
pulling tight with phantom strings
No barefoot freedom in the morning
just a graveyard made of things

I can’t walk barefoot anymore
the echoes of my hunger follow me
God once said “Take off your shoes”
but He never felt these cracks in me
So I buy another pair I’ll never wear
just to silence the ghost of that child staring
at the glass at the glass at the glass

Empty shoes like empty prayers
lining up my hallway shrine
I am both thief and worshipper
stealing time wasting time

I can’t walk barefoot anymore
the pavement bleeds the silence roars
God once said “Take off your shoes”
but He never stood in this hunger before
So I’ll keep on buying keep on binding
never fitting never finding…
and the child in the glass walks with me still

Rust runs along the rails to nowhere
Morning stations breathe a scent of iron
Words melt in my hands like shards of ice
Even when I speak it’s someone else’s song

Foreign clocks drag their feet
The wind calls me by names I’ve never worn

This city feels like a mirror I’ve never owned
My steps fall on stones that don’t remember me
I drew a map with the length of my shadow
But north keeps pointing somewhere else

Cracked windows hold the faces of other lives
Salted bread is torn with prayers I can’t translate
I keep the roofs of distant houses in my eyes
But the mailbox stays empty — no one arrives

Foreign clocks drag their feet
The wind calls me by names I’ve never worn

This city feels like a mirror I’ve never owned
My steps fall on stones that don’t remember me
I drew a map with the length of my shadow
But north keeps pointing somewhere else

A ticket in my pocket
Its destination still a stranger
Maybe it’s one-way out
Or just another foreign land

Rust runs along the rails to nowhere
And I keep walking without a border to cross

Oh oh yeah…
Mmm… listen…

Every day I see your face in my mind
Every night I’m hoping you’ll give me a sign
The way you left it’s tearing me apart
But one word from you could restart my heart

I can’t hide this feeling inside
Boy you know I tried
Tell me why we’re playing this game
Call my name call my name

Call me tonight I’m losing my mind
Say you’re still mine don’t leave me behind
One more time I’ll make it all right
Call me tonight call me tonight

I remember every touch every smile
The way you made my world feel so worthwhile
I hear your voice in every song I play
It’s like you’re here but still so far away

I can’t hide this feeling inside
Boy you know I tried
Tell me why we’re playing this game
Call my name call my name

Call me tonight I’m losing my mind
Say you’re still mine don’t leave me behind
One more time I’ll make it all right
Call me tonight call me tonight

Baby I can’t sleep I’m wide awake
Every beat of my heart’s a mistake
Without you I’m not the same
So just call my name call my name

Call me…
Tonight…
One more time…

Call me tonight I’m losing my mind (yeah)
Say you’re still mine don’t leave me behind (oh no)
One more time I’ll make it all right (make it right)
Call me tonight call me tonight

Oh… call me tonight…

Oh-oh oh-oh (yeah)
Mmm fuego
Let’s go

Your eyes pull me to the floor
Like the waves I can’t ignore
Every step you own the night
Body talkin’ feelin’ right
Baila lento take your time
One more step you’re in my mind
Heat is risin’ can’t disguise
Every move a paradise

Closer closer — feel that beat
Your hands your hips my heart skips
Rhythm’s takin’ over me
Baby set my body free

When you move like that I feel the fire
Heart’s in sync we’re climbing higher
Tu cuerpo dice lo que callas
I can read your soul in silence

Turn around the crowd goes wild
Every smile a little wild
Sunset glow on your skin
Dance begins we never end
Baila conmigo don’t let go
Every beat I need to know
Your shadow melts into mine
We get lost in perfect time

Closer closer — feel that beat
Your hands your hips my heart skips
Rhythm’s takin’ over me
Baby set my body free

When you move like that I feel the fire
Heart’s in sync we’re climbing higher
Tu cuerpo dice lo que callas
I can read your soul in silence

You say “come here” — I’m already gone
One step closer the night’s too long
You spin me ‘round — I lose control
Baila baila — let it flow

Oh-oh fuego fuego
Oh-oh fuego fuego
Move it move it
Lose it lose it

When you move like that I feel the fire (fuego)
Heart’s in sync we’re climbing higher (más alto)
Tu cuerpo dice lo que callas
I can read your soul in silence

Yeah oh-oh-oh
Mmm fuego…

Got a signal in my toaster
Dreams leaking from my shoes
City spins like a record
But I ain’t dancing to their news

Billboards flashing answers
To the questions I ain't asked
Everyone’s got mirrors
But no one sees past the mask

They sell the future in a box
With plastic trees and ticking clocks
But I want rhythm I want roots
Not just apps in leather boots

Under plastic skies in paper towns
We keep movin’ up but we’re fallin’ down
(Oh no no)
Truth’s on mute and the beat's too loud
Still I groove through this synthetic crowd

Yeah I'm slidin’ through your static minds
Moonwalkin' past the warning signs
(Whoa-oh)
If the world’s a trip—don’t need to land
I’ll funk my way won’t play your brand

I met a monk in a mirror maze
He said “Peace comes with purple haze”
I traded coins for inner sight
But they charged me tax on neon light

Don’t feed me fear in chrome disguise
Don’t sell me dreams with barcode eyes
I ain’t your data I ain’t your plan
I’m a barefoot soul in a traffic jam

Under plastic skies in paper towns
We keep movin’ fast just to circle 'round
(Hey hey!)
Truth’s gone rogue and the beat’s profound
Still I glide through your algorithm crown

Yeah I’m rollin’ in my analog mind
Flippin’ signals they left behind
(Whoa-oh)
If the world’s a glitch I’ll funk the code
Got cosmic shoes and no fixed road

Mmm… yeah
Turn it up

Found your note between the bills folded twice
Three crooked letters never said it nice
Kitchen radio is drifting off-time
Wrong station playing but it suits the night

I dial your number — hear a click then air
Flashing digits on the stove just stare
Every heartbeat in my chest misaligns
Still I’m listening for a sign

There’s static on the line but I still hear you fine
In broken little sparks we talk like power lines
If silence is a sign then prove me wrong tonight
Tune me in or cut me loose — there’s static on the line

City bus sighs at a midnight stop
Paperback angel at a corner shop
Borrowed coat hangs wide on my frame
Pockets full of change and a half-drawn name

Counting rail ties stepping over goodbyes
Copper on my tongue from unspoken replies
I hold my breath as if it might realign
What keeps crossing in my mind

There’s static on the line but I still hear you fine
In broken little sparks we talk like power lines
If silence is a sign then prove me wrong tonight
Tune me in or cut me loose — there’s static on the line

Maybe I’m a bent antenna in a storm I knew
Turn me just a single degree — I point back to you
If the signal fades and the bars go blind
Call me by the name you underlined

Line… line… static on the line
(Keep talking)
Line… line… static on the line

There’s static on the line but I still hear you fine
In broken little sparks we talk like power lines
If silence is a sign then prove me wrong tonight
Tune me in or cut me loose — there’s static on the line

Mmm… tune me in
Static on the line

You said it all without a sound
Eyes like rivers underground
No stage no sign no grand display
But still you took my breath away

When the noise fades
I see you clear
No masks remain
No need to steer
In that still shade
You draw me near

Curtains closed the world stands still
No rush no race no sudden thrill
Just quiet steps upon the floor
No less no more I ask for

When the noise fades
I see you clear
No masks remain
No need to steer
In that still shade
You draw me near

I don’t believe in grand goodbyes
Just simple truths behind the eyes
Not every tale begins with fire
Some just flicker then inspire

When the noise fades
I see you clear
No masks remain
No need to steer
In that still shade
You draw me near
